It looks pretty yea, but I'd be pissed if I was in Vegas and it snowed on me lol. Seems to not go well with holidays down there. No pools, no palm trees, no warmth, no transport. People are in a panic down there lol. It will melt im sure in 2-3 days seeing as its normal high is like 55 or so around this time of year.

danny411 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 abbotsford is pretty much a nightmare right now. i don't think any of the roads have been plowed at all. it is pretty much a white out right now in some places. i just talked to my best friend who lives in chilliwack but works and abby and she has to stay at her parents in abby for the night because a lot of portions of the highway between here and chilliwack are closed completely. i want it to stop. guess i won't take that job there then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike2576 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 true. I would be pretty mad. it was scorching hot last time i went to vegas. It was 60 degress. We're talking Celsius? Not to make a counter argument or anything, but if we are: Las Vegas, and Nevada as a whole has never seen a high above 52. However Fahrenheit its above 60 all year round practically Hopefully i didnt rain on parades and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike2576 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) yes, celsius. There was a heat wave when I was there. I stayed locked up in my room for a couple of days. How could you stay locked in your room?! what hotel I love the Vegas heat of the Summer time. I remember driving from Denver to Las Vegas. We hit the Kennedy Pass in Colorado and it was 8 degrees in the mountains. I told my buddy to not touch or open the window till we got to Nevada. We stepped out of the car in Mesquite, NV two hours from Vegas, car temp was reading 43 degrees Celsius, a feeling ill never forget. I love stepping outside knowing I need shorts, and knowing a cool pool is the only way to go! According to Wikipedia tho: "the hottest temperature ever recorded is 117 °F (47 °C) set twice, on July 19, 2005, at McCarran International Airport and July 24, 1942, at present-day Nellis Air Force Base." So perhaps you were in around a feeling of 50 or so degrees, its never been 60...anywhere. 57.8 °C (136 °F) Al 'Aziziyah, Libya 13 September 1922 World Record. Yes...im a weather nerd, and a Las Vegas nerd. On another note, it finally stopped snowing in the WPG.

My memories of Vegas are from the middle of June and April's spent down there with temps between 85-115. This is weird Yeah, it's insane. The north part of Los Angeles County in California is getting more snow than we are, especially in the Antelope Valley (Palmdale and Lancaster). Also reports of snow falling in the hills in northern Orange County. The entire desert southwest is going wacko. There's nothing like seeing a photo of Huntington Beach, with palm trees and beach houses, flanked by mountains absolutely covered with snow.
